Alpine Innovations Spudz
If you wear glasses or use a good camera, the Ultra Spudz is a boon. A square of microfiber cloth just-big-enough for an eyeglass lens is attached to a neoprene pod about the size of a grown man's thumb. Pop the cloth out to clean your lenses, push it back into its pocket when not in use. The Spudz locks to a key ring, camera or bag strap, or a zipper so you won't lose it. My Spudz lives attached to the zipper pull of my wallet's change compartment. Since the Spudz is on a quick-release connector, it snaps on and off instantly. There's nothing special about the cloth itself - it's just always clean and always handy when you need it.

This is not good design. You can read my review on Amazon.
It would been so simple to make this 100% better just by attaching the the cord to the wiper instead of attaching the wiper to the pouch. Then you could draw up the wipe into the pouch. And this isn't new design or anything. This has been done many times.
It's a real pain to have to push that cloth back into the pouch. Especially since a lot of times when you are using this, you will have several things in your hands or only one hand available.

Much as I hate to endorse Wal*Mart, they have the same "Spudz" product, with a pack of two wipes for about the same price as one of these at Amazon.
The 2-pack I got is branded "Crooked Horn Outfitters" http://www.crookedhorn.com/
